The last time we saw Bill and Dani this peacefully together was in that flashback from before Bill broke Dani’s heart. All the Dupree Hamiltons had interesting conversations, but only Bill and Dani experienced an unexpected and heated moment in the Tuesday, April 1 episode of Beyond the Gates. Yikes.
Important Conversations
For much of Tuesday’s episode, Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Dani (Karla Mosley) had conversations with other people. Bill talked to Hayley (Marquita Goings), who filled him in on her chat with Naomi (Arielle Prepetit). Hayley seemed so sure that because of their talk, Naomi dropped the lawsuit. Bill seemed to think that his manipulated chat with his former employees was what caused them to drop the suit. In reality, the lawsuit wasn’t dropped. Naomi talked her clients into taking up the gauntlet. She told them they needed to be loud about what happened and that they had no choice but to go all in, and they agreed.
Meanwhile, Dani, who’s struggling with her drinking, had an interesting discussion with her daughter Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla). Chelsea returned to her mom’s house to apologize for the way she told her mom she quit modeling to start her own design business with Kat (Colby Muhammad). What happened was that Dani realized that she had reacted just like she had when Bill abandoned her. She felt Chelsea abandoned her in favor of a younger model. The two hashed their issues out (for now), which was great.
Chelsea’s situation with Hayley was another matter. Hayley thinks Bill’s daughters need to forgive their father already. She did get Chelsea to think about making some sort of peace with her dad, but we’ll see if that happens. Hayley doesn’t seem to get how badly Bill hurt their family. She’s just thinking about how much in love she is.

Incomplete
It’s great whenever we get to witness what Dani and Bill must have been like when they were married. We don’t get to see it often. But when they are together one-on-one, we see it.
Bill couldn’t handle the fact that Hayley wasn’t instantly accepted at the country club. After his chat with Naomi, who reminded him that the people at the club adore Dani and her light, he headed to Dani’s under the guise of needing a deed to one of the houses that Bill was selling.
In the process, the two ended up reminiscing on days of past when Naomi and Chelsea were just kids, and they were vacationing at the beach house and they were listening to Sisqo’s “Incomplete.” The way they were talking — you could see how they were connected. Their marriage may not have been perfect, but there had been happy times.
When Bill broke the news that Naomi was suing his law firm, Dani’s reaction was priceless. She tried not to laugh, but she couldn’t help it. She noted how proud she was of Naomi. It was a great moment.

It was no surprise that with all the reminiscing, the two got closer and closer, and then the episode ended with a kiss. For a minute, it made Dani the other woman. Now, the question is, what will the fallout be? Was this a genuine moment between Bill and Dani? Or is this something that Bill will use to get Dani to help usher Hayley into Fairmont Crest society? We don’t trust Bill, so our guard is up. Hopefully, Dani’s is too, and the kiss stops there and doesn’t go any further.
